To Kayden:

You are one now. I cant believe how fast you have grown. You are a wonderful little light in our home, and I can tell that you will become a wonderful young man. I am so excited for you to learn new things, you're always so joyful  and get so excited with each new discovery.
You're really trying to talk now. You say things like "dad", "mom" "bottle" and "mee's" (learned that from your brother). None of the words are crystal clear but they are WORDS.
You are definitely a little runner, you love the kiddie pool and trying anything your older brother is doing. You LOVE music and toys, music making toys are particularly popular right now. You like planes and will even fly them around and make sound effects, which is amazing because your still so tiny. You got a good head on your shoulders!
You like books but you sit still for them better for daddy then me. You are getting less snuggly as you grow. Today was extra special for mom because you fell asleep and stayed asleep in mommy's arms for a long time.  I love those quiet minutes with you.
You totted your birthday balloons behind you everywhere you went all day and you still do it for a few hours at a time now 3 days later. Its amazing how grown up you are becoming!
You are definitely fun to play with because you and your brother both love to laugh!

-Dad

You're such a simply little child, and you keep me focused on what matters. You're always fun to be around and to spend time with. Love you bud.
